Cora and Kit ~ 5 Months

by Toni Herrbach

Remember when Cora first got her quilt?

It almost “fits” her now.

And that Kit doll….

Not even close…

By the way, Cora hates getting her picture taken! It is almost impossible to get her to smile… unless I can convince other people in my family to stand in front of her and do this…

And that’s A Finer Thing….

    This post totally made me smile.

    It’s awesome that your husband and kids get in on the “make-Cora-smile” charade. That final picture is the BEST.

    Thanks for sharing your home’s happiness with us.

    Love the B.T.W. part. I love your blog. Long time reader. Just started a blog of my own. P. S. my 2nd son was born Feb 28 4 weeks early and did not fit in bum genius either. Now Cloth is all we use. I could relate to Cora because Lil worm was 5 ls 15 oz. Now hes 16 ils at 6 months. They grow so fast. Thanks for a great blog to read.

    I can’t believe she fit into nearly one square. It is amazing how fast time goes by. It seems like just yesterday I was having dinner with you at the manor at Blissdom.

    Seeing her fit into that one quilt square – she has grown so much! I think when we see them grow every day, we lose perspective. That last picture is hysterical.
